RAID 0: Striped Disk Array without Fault Tolerance
RAID Level 0 requires a minimum of
2 drives to implement |
Characteristics/Advantages RAID 0 implements a striped disk
array, the data is broken down into blocks and each block is written to a
separate disk drive I/O performance is greatly improved by spreading the I/O load across
many channels and drives Best performance is achieved when data is striped across multiple
controllers with only one drive per controller No parity calculation overhead is involved Very simple design Easy to implement |
Disadvantages Not a "True" RAID because it is
NOT fault-tolerant The failure of just one drive will result in all data in an array being
lost Should never be used in mission critical environments |
